AN Eastern exchange unkindly suggests
that President Clevelands reluctance to go
West is because Western Democrats have all
been to Washington to see him, and he does
not care to meet them again. Perhaps this
is what Mr. Cleveland had in mind when he
assured a Missouri statesman that he would
make the trip to meet the people generally,
and not as representative of a party. By
this means he may be able to avoid the ia
miliar Democratic crowds to some extent and
make some very respectable acquaintances.

strong or compact to control any State or

elections they may for while either elect their
candidates or determine the contest between

this they will accomplish nothing. Some of the
measures proposed by this party are also

opposed by both the old ones and by an over

entirely useless, and to all others it is
utterly powerless. Permanent political parties
can not be created by revolution. They must

In spite of the tremendous efforts Pension
Commissioner Black says he is making to
serve the old soldiers, it seems to be very
easy matter to get fraudulent claim through
his office. If one of the rascals who helped
the blind negro of Utica to swindle the pen
sion office out of $11, 900 had not got drunk
and betrayed the secret Mr. Black and his as
sistants would never have been the wiser. If
the defaulting Treasury Clerk Harvey had
not been detected by vigilant Republican
subordinate no one in the Pension Office
would have thought to investigate $1,000
claim which he had put through successfully
for a mythical Philadelphia widow. AS it

swindling schemes naturally leads the public
to wonder how many fraudulent claims have

IT can hardly be supposed that son of Henry
Ward Beecher would become involved in a
crime SO great as the removal by death of wit
ness against his character, but the San Francisco
Chronicle which is following up the charges
made against him of dishonesty, brings out
some facts in connection with the mysterious
death of Blake, at Chicago. which suggest the
existence of a conspiracy, and that there are
persons attached to tho collectors office at Port
Townsend who could throw some light on the
matter. A representative of the paper men
toned visited Port Townsend and listened to a
fat denial by Collector Beecher of all the
charges against him, which was of course to be
expected. While there, however, he discovered
what the Chronicle regards very peculiar In
cdent namely. that three days after the depart
ure of Blake for the East for the purpose OF
laying his testimony before the authorities at
Washington, A. X. Wintrode, a customs Off
Ger appointed while Beecher was collect
or of customs. left suddenly for the
East. Nothing made public concern
ing Wintrode's whereabouts Wintrode returned
from the East on June T. Meantime Blake had
been found at the Chicago depot in an I'M
conscious condition Wintrode, when closely
questioned, admitted that he had been in Chicago
and looked for Blake that he had visited all Of

not on good terms after the latter's dismissal
from the customs service. just why and for
what reason Wntrode desired to see Blake can
not ne ascertained. Wintrode transferred
last week to the Spokane Falls district. The
Chronicle. which does not hesitate to de-
clare its belief in Beecher's dishonesty towards
the govern ment, announces its determination to
push the matter and secure an investigation b.

kind of Jurisprudence known trial by news

such a trial is pushed with yigor. We intend to
know how and by what influence specific sworn
charges against this man were pigeon -holed
or overlooked; why an investigation
not had, and by what means his deiin-
ouencies were kept secluded from the
knowledge of the public. We propose to ascer-
tain upon what theory Grover Cleveland, the
exponent of purity and reform. the bright par

another until McGarigle abused his conf

down by appointing him to n place after his
lection by the Senate, which he himself says he
preferred to the collectorship.
We think there need be no misunderstanding
ing about the position OF the Chronicle in
this affair Lest there should be we will sum-
marize our position by saying that we believe
Herbert F. Beecher guilty of the offenses
charged against him, and that the President Of
the United States in appointing him to office
with full knowledge of the charges against him,
and the Secretary of the Treasury in suppressing
an inquiry into his Official conduct, must and DO
share in the disgrace which attaches to him.
